Neighborhood Partnerships Model

Across this country, decade after decade, we have been inching toward solutions, helping a small number of people to find their way out of poverty. The Neighborhood Partnerships Model will change that, utilizing collaborations across all sectors of society to help every member in the community to prosper: the creation of safe and vibrant neighborhoods, the provision of education and professional development programs, the development of long-term support for individuals, and the assurance of quality housing for all.

The Provision of Basic Need Items

There is a sentiment in our country that if people have nothing, they should be happy to get anything. We do not see it that way. We believe that if people have nothing, they have already gotten the worst in life. Now, it is time to give them the best. A Wider Circle provides basic need items to individuals and families transitioning out of homelessness, fleeing domestic abuse, or otherwise living without the essentials of life. For many, we are the only resource for turning empty spaces into stable and dignified homes.

Ending Poverty

We know that poverty in the United States will end when every sector of society engages – and when it is a priority of every citizen. The more we connect those in poverty with those willing and able to help, the more likely we are to accomplish this goal. We ask you to join us, whether as a job coach, a donor, a wraparound partner, or a volunteer at our center, in seeing the end of poverty in this country.
